Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Nunica
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 3.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Nunica, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Ottawa County average of 5.4 and below the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 29 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 16.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.4% of renter households in 2018.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 19th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
